So, apparently the brown shirts at TSA decided that a woman had to remove her nipple rings prior to boarding the aircraft.
Uh…
Yeah. So, tell me, what exactly was the threat here? Were they afraid she might pull a shoelace and string up a field-expedient garrote, charge the cockpit, and slowly choke the crew to death, one by one, while everyone stood by and watched? And tell me this…what would they have done if she’d just tossed them in the little tray with her keys, pocket change and watch? I gather that they let her take them on the plane with her. So what is to prevent her from putting them back in once she’s on the plane?! HELLOOOO?!
The only reason they pulled this keeerap is because they can. Too many of the fine folks at TSA have let their little floppy shoulder boards go to their heads.
The next time she buys nipple rings, might I recommend a couple of these instead? Might help save some time in the long run.

High-profile Obama backers urge Clinton to quit
In a related story, China has urged Taiwan to just shut up and turn communist, and Islamic funamentalists have urged everyone to adopt Sharia. Where I come from, we call this “attempts at intimidation.” While I’ve got no love for the Clintonistas, to me this falls pretty clearly under the heading of, “don’t fight it baby, it’ll be over quicker that way.”
I love watching feral Democrats turn on each other like two starving, angry ferrets trapped in a cage. Tee-hee-heeeee.
Two teens arrested in Va. highway shootings
Ya know, I’m all for the whole “eye for an eye” thing sometimes. I think a fitting punishment would be to force these guys to drive back and forth on a country road while a select pool of people gets to shoot at them. Priority in selection, of course, being given to the families of those injured by these pukes. What goes through their freakin’ minds?! “I know, lets go shoot at cars. G-ya-huck!”
On a personal note, I’ve caught some nasty bug, and I’m coughing up stuff you wouldn’t discuss in polite company. Oh, and I did I mention that it’s snowing. In Tacoma. And it’s almost April. Damn that global warming climate change extreme weather!

You’ve got quite an imagination going with the nipple ring attack. I figured she just wanted to show them to somebody and setting off a metal detector at the airport was her only chance.
I’m thinking a sheer blouse might’ve been a better way to go, but them I’m not that much of an exhibitionist.
